Process controllability toolbox (PCTB)

Abstract The scope of the paper relates to the introduction of the concepts and functionality of controllability analysis for chemical processes and the development of an X-Window based software package, to be referred to as the Process Controllability ToolBox (PCTB). The application of PCTB to a vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and polymerisation reactor process is considered. The ease of use which the Graphical User Interface (GUI) based software provides is demonstrated by a typical tutorial session.
